Buddhist Pilgrimage

The most important places of Buddhist Pilgrimage are located in the Gangetic plains of Northern India and Southern Nepal, in the area between New Delhi and Rajgir. This is the area where Gautama Buddha lived and taught, and the main sites connected to his life are now important places of pilgrimage for both Buddhists and Hindus. However, many countries that are or were predominantly Buddhist have shrines and places which can be visited as a pilgrimage.

Four main pilgrimage sites - Gautama Buddha is said to have recognized four sites most worthy of pilgrimage for his followers, saying that they would produce a feeling of spiritual urgency. These are

Bodh Gaya: (in the current Mahabodhi Temple, Bihar, India), is the most important religious site and place of pilgrimage, the Mahabodhi Temple houses what is believed to be the Bodhi Tree where the Buddha realized enlightenment and Buddhahood.

Lumbini: birthplace of Gautama Buddha (in Nepal)

Sarnath: (Formally Isipathana,Uttar pradesh, India) where Gautama Buddha delivered his first teaching.

Khusinagar: (now Kushinagar, Uttar Pradesh, India) where Gautama Buddha died and attained Parinirvana.

The Eight Great Places to visit: Lumbini, Bodhgaya,Sarnath,Kushinagar,Sravasti,Rajgir, Sankasia,Vaishali.
